No one likes to be timed out at the best of times, but when you've got the vacation sign up and you're timed out it's downright out of order and that's precisely what Blueknight did to me whilst I was off on my honeymoon. I even put a note up on my profile to say it would be bad form for my opponents to do this, but did he care? Did he f***. What's the point in playing if all you are interested in is the points?

I agree with you whole-heartedly. Unfortunately there are people to whom sportsmanship seems to be a foreign concept, not to speak of common decency.

You could play unrated or on 21 day time outs 😉

Do you find opponents who accept 21 day timeout games?

Thats mostly all i play, even my clan games are all 21 day t/o`s. I figured that if someome can`t move within 21 days they deserve to be timed out.

Perhaps the fact that the person who has made more moves than anyone else on this site and is at the top of the most active player table only plays 14 and 21 day time outs should tell you something...
